The Twelfth Hour (Malencholia)

You Were Never Innocent

This Hour governs themes of brutal judgment, punishment, and perverse justice. It does not speak exactly, but it does intone with the gravity of foghorns and the rumble of storms. It inhabits an inevitability and an irrevocably reserved usually for the moral judgment of afterlives. There is no dissuading it.

This Hour is good for the following types of horror:

  • Horror pertaining to fascism
  • Horror pertaining to courtrooms
  • Horror pertaining to injustice

Some touchstone media that capture the vibe of this Hour include the following:

  • Masque of the Red Death
  • Hellraiser
  • No Country for Old Men
